This award have a double meaning: Remember and celebrate.

It wants to honor the memory of those who have devoted their lifetime to lay the foundations for this hobby and celebrate those who contribute with their effort to structure, disseminate, disclose and sow the seed of this passion in the world with seriousness, dedication and professionalism.
